8 Using babel with the options [french,polutonikogreek,german]
9 will cause LaTeX to crash. If the order is changed, for example to
10 [polutonikogreek,french,german] documents can be compiled without any
11 problem. According to David Kastrup this is caused by greek.lfd
12 assuming that ! always has catcode 12, which french.lfd changes even
13 before the beginning the document.
